A big win for the defending champions and they are well and truly back into the reckoning. For the hosts, it was a bad night and they will look to roar back in their next game. The CPL carnival now goes back to St. Lucia where the Stars will host the Tridents from Barbados. That's the game coming up tomorrow night. Do join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..

Dwayne Bravo: 'I thought we started well, but then we lost wickets at crucial times and those of well-set batsmen. It was a good wicket to bat on, but it was difficult to go straight in and play our shots. Credit to their bowlers. I thought my bowlers did well, but we didn't have enough runs. But I am happy with the way we kept fighting till the end. I am not a big supporter of constantly changing teams, but we will look at the conditions and decide on our playing eleven.'

Sangakkara: 'With that start, I thought keeping them to 180 would have been a good effort. But the way our bowlers came back, it was outstanding. Kesrick (Williams) has improved a lot over the period of time, he had a mixed bag in the first 6 overs, but came back well with his variations. The Knight Riders are an outstanding side and it's great to go to St. Lucia with a win. We are a complete team unit, one or two big stars, but the rest of them always chip in. My wicket was crucial, but I had confidence that the rest of the boys would steer us home.'

Williams: 'It is a pleasure to play for the Tallawahs. It feels pretty good to contribute towards wins. We knew we needed early wickets, especially those of Brendon McCullum and Colin Munro. I have used the variations sparingly until now, but I am more confident about my abilities now and I believe I can do the job that the captain wants from me. My (note-book) celebrations come naturally for me.'

Kesrick Williams is the Man of the Match

Yet another champagne performance from the defending champions. After 8 overs of the match, they looked down and out. The pacers led the fightback, used the conditions well and restricted the hosts to a below par score. Simmons got them off to a flier, Sangakkara played the support role and a late cameo from Jonathan Foo saw them home. They have now joined the Knight Riders and the Patriots at the top with four points, although the former stay on top owning to their superior net run-rate.

19.2

Cooper to Imad Wasim, 1 run, Tallawahs win by 4 wickets, short of a length and on the stumps, Wasim gets an inside edge on the cut, the ball rolls away behind square on the on-side and the two batsmen stroll through for the winning run

Krishmar Santokie, left handed bat, comes to the crease

19.1

Cooper to Jonathan Foo, out Caught by Searles!! Foo doesn't hit the winning runs for the Tallawahs! Length ball on the stumps, Foo was in no position as he went for the lofted on-drive, once again went off the toe-end and it's a simple catch to long-on. Searles was the fielder there, but there's no celebrations from the Knight Riders. Jonathan Foo c Searles b Cooper 19(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

Cooper to Jonathan Foo, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

18.6

Dwayne Bravo to Jonathan Foo, SIX, dropped and six, this should be it for the Tallawahs! Another slower ball from Bravo, Foo swung hard, went off the toe off the bat - high and towards long-on. Shadab was the fielder in the deep, he seemed concerned about the boundary ropes, takes the catch in front of it, loses balance as well as the ball, it pops over and it's a maximum for the batsman

18.2

Dwayne Bravo to Jonathan Foo, 2 runs, another slower ball from Bravo, but this is too full and wide of off, Foo throws his bat at that and slices it behind square on the off-side, back for the second run

18.1

Dwayne Bravo to Jonathan Foo, FOUR, streaky and four, that will do for the Tallawahs, another slower delivery from Bravo, Foo was way too early on the slog, gets a thick outside edge, over the keeper and past the fielder at third man - who was inside the ring

14 needed from the last two overs. The Knight Riders are still holding on, the Tallawahs, on the other hand, will need a big 19th over, can't leave far too many for the last over. Bravo to bowl for the hosts..

Cooper to Shakib, out Caught&Bowled!! Shakib's luck runs out and the KNight Riders can breather once again.

Dwayne Bravo to Jonathan Foo, 1 run, Bravo is down in agony, he was attempting to deflect a straight drive from Foo towards the stumps at the bowler's end - Shakib was backing up and would have been well short, but the ball just missed the stumps.

Jonathan Foo, right handed bat, comes to the crease

16.2

Dwayne Bravo to Sangakkara, out Caught by Shadab Khan!! Is there another twist in the tale? Sangakkara has played a proper lofted off-drive, but the timing is so good that it travels all the way to long-off, he's gutted as he walks away. This was a slower delivery outside off, Sangakkara was just looking to chip it over the non-striker, has he opened up the game for the Knight Riders? Sangakkara c Shadab Khan b Dwayne Bravo 47(41) [4s-7]

Welcome back.. The new ball will be the key for the Tallawahs. As seen in the first innings, run-scoring will be a lot more difficult when the ball goes soft. Will the dew be a factor though?

After 8 overs, the Knight Riders were 101/2 and were primed for a 200+ score on the board. But as the ball became older and softer, scoring runs became quite a task. Smith led the fightback from Jamaica and he was well supported by his pace partners. The Knight Riders sould never get going in the second half of their innings, wickets tumbled at regular intervals and they eventually finished with a sub-par score of 147. Can the Tallawahs chase the target down? We will have the chase in a while..

19.5

Odean Smith to Cooper, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

Time for some boom boom. BMac is the TNT and Narine is the supplementary dynamite. Let the explosion begin!!!

Jamaica on the other hand are on an even keel, they have won one and lost one. They know that the spin brigade of TKR led by Narine and Shadab will be after them but the experience of Sangakkara will be a key factor for them.

TKR are in great form having outclassed their opponent(St. Lucia) in the two games they have played against them. They have drawn a clean sheet so far and would want the same thing against Jamaica.
